Using auto margins to center block elements is
inadequate for IE5.x/win. Happily that browser
mis-applies the property'text-align' to all elements,
not just inline ones. So in the body put:
body {text-align: center}
This centers descendant block elements (like tables) in
IE5.x. Then in any children of 'body' that may need it, put:
table {text-align: left} /*resets default*/
By using this and auto margins together, all major
browsers are covered.

I believe that's 'border-collapse: collapse;'.
